Chapter 225: Level 0 Contestants
Although the teachers of Taoyuan had an understanding of the strength of the participating students, they couldn't help but feel ecstatic when they saw that the 12 Taoyuan students were all within the top 20. Hearing all kinds of exclamations from the people from other schools around me, and then connecting with the discussions of these people in the morning, I suddenly felt a sense of raising my eyebrows.
After the teachers of the other schools were amazed from the bottom of their hearts, they also felt a deep blow - Taoyuan's strength is too strong, and they are not at the same level as Taoyuan at all.
This situation has never happened before, even in the strongest years of the real yĆ n primary school, it has never been able to dominate a certain list. But now, Taoyuan School has done it.
Regardless of whether the leaders and teachers of other schools are willing to face it or not, the last final research and unified examination and this "Crazy Language, Mathematics and English" competition have proved that Taoyuan has surpassed other schools in Fengcheng in the cultivation of ordinary students and top students.
Because the subsequent finals require people from the top 12 schools to sit in the front row, each school began to change seats.
At this time, some teachers from other schools couldn't help but be jealous when they met acquaintances who used to teach in the same school and later transferred to Taoyuan. Not only the salary is high, but also the face and the future.
Liu Meng, who was far away in Jiangcheng, received a call from Wu Yan and learned about the results of the Taoyuan School in the "Crazy Comprehensive," and he was naturally very happy, and at the same time completely relieved -- Obviously, the Taoyuan School in the county-level "Crazy Language, Mathematics and English" competition had already won the first place.
On April 27, Wu Yan and others led the primary school to continue to participate in the last two finals of Fengcheng's "Crazy Language", and Liu Meng took Gan Shuangshuang into the Qintai Concert Hall in Jiangcheng.
Although he had read the information on the computer and was surprised that the contestants came from villages such as Fengcheng, Xilin Town, and Taoyuan Village, after checking the information, he still politely let the two into the concert hall.
After entering the concert hall, there were special staff to guide Liu Meng and Gan Shuangshuang. Coming to the seat area where the other junior contestants and their entourage are located - the 27th is the junior competition, and the 28th is the junior competition.
Generally speaking, each contestant can bring 3 escorts into the venue, so the other contestants here are accompanied by at least two people, like Gan Shuangshuang, there are very few who are accompanied by Liu Meng alone.
Before the start of the competition, the chairman, vice chairman and other relevant leaders of the Lake Piano Association went up to talk about it, which was nothing more than the significance of this piano competition.
After the leader finished speaking. It was the turn of the host of the contest to take the stage. Because it is not a commercial competition, the host is not the celebrity host of Lake Province that Liu Meng knows, but a young male host named Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng mainly introduced the 7 judges of this piano competition, as well as the rules of the competition - the 7 judges are relatively famous pianists in Duhu Province, and there is even a famous piano master.
The competition stipulates that after all contestants take the stage, they can first perform a 5-minute adaptive performance. After the adaptive performance is completed, you can make sure that there are no problems, and you can start playing the repertoire that you have signed up for.
After the contestant finishes playing. The seven judges wrote their scores on the sign at the same time, and then scored together. Remove the lowest score and the highest score, and take the average score of the remaining 5 judges to be the final score of the contestant.
At last. The judges will also give professional comments and guidance to the contestants' performances, so that the eliminated contestants can also gain something.
After the official start of the competition, the host drew lots to decide which players would come to the stage - the number of contestants that Gan Shuangshuang got in advance was No. 9, which is not a bad number.
In addition to the judges' scoring. The host draw is probably the most interesting part of the game, because no one knows if it will be him.
"Let's see who will be the first one on stage today." The presenter touches the number ball from the transparent glass jar. At the same time, he said with a smile. When he took out the number ball he had drawn and looked at it, he said loudly: "Player No. 8!" Who's our No. 8 player? Look at the big screen! ā
The picture on the big screen changed, and a picture of a teenager appeared. The young man was dressed in a black tuxedo, just like the nobles of the ancient kingdoms of Western Europe, looking extremely elegant and gentlemanly. However, the young man's eyes had a taste of contempt, as if he didn't put anyone in his eyes.
Seeing the information of the No. 8 player, Liu Meng heard the originally quiet people around him buzzing and talking. It seems that this young man is still a little celebrity in the piano industry in Lake Province.
"Oh my God, it seems that my luck is not bad, the first one to draw is the genius boy who is known as the prince of piano in our Lake Province, Gao Hao! When he was 12 years old last year, Gao Hao got the ninth grade piano certification. Although Gao Hao has not undergone the tenth-level certification now, it is said that his strength has already surpassed the tenth-level certification! ā
With Xiao Cheng's passionate introduction, a young man near Liu Meng stood up, nodded politely to the people around him, and then walked onto the performance stage unhurriedly. There, there is a piano for the contestants.
After bowing to the audience and the judges on stage, Gao Hao sat down in front of the piano and played adaptively.
The 5-minute adaptive performance was originally intended to give the contestants an understanding of the piano in front of them, but here in Gao Hao, it has another role, that is, to show off skills. This is like the way of the ring competition in martial arts dramas, where the master flies onto the stage, and even the mediocre will do a somersault. If you go up or even climb up, you lose half of your momentum.
Gao Hao first played a few irregular melodies at random, and then everyone saw his slender ten fingers jumping wildly on the keys on the big screen, and at the same time, an incredible piano melody also drifted into everyone's ears - it was a short melody from Chopin's "Winter Wind Etudes".
Seeing this, Liu Meng couldn't help frowning slightly.
Although the technical difficulty of Chopin's "Winter Wind Etudes" is not among the top ten in the world, it is also quite difficult, and Gao Hao can play a small part of it like a show off, which shows that his strength is extremely strong. Even as Xiao Cheng said in his introduction, he already had the strength to surpass the tenth level.
If the other players are as strong as Gao Hao, then Liu Meng feels that it will be difficult for Gan Shuangshuang to win the prize in this competition.
When Gao Hao officially started playing, Liu Meng's eyes narrowed again, and at the same time, the people around him couldn't help but let out a slight sound of surprise.
"Wild Bee Dance!"
"It turned out to be "Wild Bee Flying"!"
"Although it's not an octave version, it's much stronger than the monophonic version of "Wild Bee Dance"!"
āā
Generally speaking, you can try to play the monophonic version of "Wild Bee Dance" after the piano level 5, but there is also an octave version of "Wild Bee Dance" that is no less difficult than the world's top ten difficult songs. It can be said that no matter how strong the strength is, how difficult it is to play "Wild Bee Flying".
Gao Hao's choice of this song is undoubtedly to give full play to his strength.
A piano is an orchestra, and Gao Hao's "Wild Bee Flying" interprets this sentence very well. By the time he finished playing, the hearts of many people present were still filled with the joyful rhythm.
The 7 judges quickly scored Gao Hao, removing a maximum score of 10 points and a minimum score of 7, Gao Hao's final total score was as high as 9.1 points!
"The Piano Prince has given us a good start to this competition, so does it mean that the other players in the future will also have a good performance? Okay, let's take a look at our second contestant who will be on stage."
After Gao Hao, the game continued, and finally there were no players as strong as Gao Hao as Liu Meng feared. However, although the strength of these players is not as good as Gao Hao, they are not far behind, and their scores are basically above 8 points.
Finally, after the seventh player, when the host drew the number again, the number 9 ball was drawn.
"Player No. 9! Who is it? Check out our big screen! The host took the number ball, turned to look at the big screen, and the other players and the audience also looked at the big screen, and then found that a very beautiful girl appeared on the big screen, as well as information about the girl.
At this time, the host Xiao Cheng also introduced: "Piano girl Gan Shuangshuang, from Yiyang Fengcheng, age 13, the current piano certification level is level 0!" Oh my God, it's level 0, isn't that just no piano grade certification? ā
Seeing this information, the other players and spectators below couldn't help but talk.
This "Lake Province Youth Piano Competition" is not for everyone to participate, first of all, the age is within the limit, and secondly, there must be a certain piano certification level, or to the recommendation of a well-known pianist in Lake Province. For example, in the junior category, the minimum piano certification level for participation is Grade 7.
So what's going on with this Gan Shuangshuang?
Many people think about it for a while and think of a possibility - generally speaking, piano requires a long period of study to reach a certain level, and there is plenty of time to take the exam in between. If a person has not yet been certified for piano level, the biggest possibility is that he has only been learning piano for a long time and has not had time to take the exam.
This kind of person can still come to this kind of piano competition, and he must have a deep relationship with a well-known pianist, and he came to gild. Even if you can't win the award, you can get the comments of the judges, which adds a layer of resume. In layman's terms, after participating in this competition, the force was immediately improved.
So, when Gan Shuangshuang stood up, everyone around couldn't help but look at her strangely.
Even Gao Hao next to him sneered, although his voice was not loud, but with Liu Meng's ear, he could hear his words clearly.
"If I knew that such garbage could participate in this competition, I wouldn't have come. Well, maybe I should put on a pair of earplugs and do it again. ā
Hearing this, Liu Meng was not angry for the first time, but looked at Gan Shuangshuang worriedly, afraid that she would be affected when she heard this. Seeing that Gan Shuangshuang seemed to have heard nothing, and still walked towards the stage with a quiet and indifferent face, Liu Meng looked at Gao Hao unkindly.
This kid owes a lot.
[The first update of the guarantee arrives.] I don't know how to play the piano, so it's really hard to write this chapter. Forgive me for my mistakes and omissions. (To be continued......)
